they don’t need supervision like a naughty child.

this speaks very very foundationally to a misunderstanding the mods constantly make and current mod team makes quite a lot. as i have said before, the people who post here might act somewhat childishly sometimes but they are not children, and they both chafe quite severely when they are treated as such and adapt! people do not come here to be babysat and if you treat them that way eventually they're going to work out how to get rid of you frankly.

There's a massive gap between the staff and the users in general, really, and there's probably like five different things we can blame on that gap widening going all the way back to GBS 1.0 and spanning to The Troubles, but the relevant bit is that I don't think it's ever been this wide and the only people capable of bridging it either don't know how, aren't capable of it or just don't seem to want to.

It's strange and sad, but at least it's currently at a simmer instead of a tiring boil.

For the record, I'm not going to gas the thread. I wrote that in a fit of pique and at no point would I have actually done that. All it would have meant is a half dozen QCS threads from everyone freaking out and causing more drama, thus defeating the purpose.

so the ARF PROTOCOL is basically "don't give shitposters the attention", and yet the mods came into the thread and gave the shitposters attention. clearly the mod powerpoints need to make the rounds again.

Sagas thread can have a leak from me as a treat



lol my last PM request for a sagas thread was in March before I let it go. They told me to ask a GBS mod so I did and that was it.

Glad to know that asking 3 times for a thread then letting the matter go counts as "whining" by these forum standards.

Well given that all they do is prune branches by punishing people instead of trying to actually moderate, it's a pretty apt analogy.

No one sane ever wants to actually bother with the effort or corralling morons on this place and some of the most trash idiots will bitch and complain when you do something good like ban a bunch of piss soaked mutants for writhing around in a pit of rescue rangers hentai unchecked for years.

it is for basically everyone and i don't understand and am increasingly less sympathetic to the people who don't acknowledge that plain reality. i think in my most recent private novella begging a mod to quit for their own good, i analogized it to "head plutonium taster" or "human crash test dummy".

don't do it, and if you do do it quit.

Both dongicus and Larry would probably be a lot happier if they had like 1 or 2 designated mods who pretended to get mad at their trolling like people used to. A lot of the flailing around for pressure points on posters and mods probably comes from not really getting as much out of bugging people anymore.
